In addition, in recognition of the historic and ongoing financial support given
to the Company, PipeHawk has issued warrants over 6,000,000 shares to Gordon
Watt and warrants over 2,120,000 shares to Robert Tallentire. The warrants are
exercisable at 3 pence per share and only vest in the event that the thirty day
average middle-market closing share price of the Company's shares exceeds 10
pence. These warrants are capable of being exercised until 12 December 2018.
Given the number of warrants being granted to Mr Watt and Mr Tallentire, the
grants are deemed to be related party transactions under the AIM Rules. The
directors of PipeHawk, other than Mr Watt and Mr Tallentire who are interested
in the transaction (the "Independent Directors"), having consulted with John
East & Partners Limited, consider the terms of the transactions to be fair and
reasonable insofar as the shareholders of the Company are concerned. In
advising the Independent Directors, John East & Partners Limited has relied
upon their commercial assessment.
